HELLO?RANT UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RANT UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RANT UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so sorry. Family can be such a bitch. Literally. I have been on disabililty since 2000, unable to hold any sort of employment, in hospital 13 times, and my mom said to me around thanksgiving, &quot;Well, we never know how you are.&quot; SO ASK ME.

My mother tries to understand as best she can she has a sister who was dx manic depressive and one who is hypocondriac w/severe self medicating problems both are in partial assistance nursing home, so she can somewhat understand when I talk about how I'm feeling. Sometimes I go to hubby first, sometimes her first, sometimes my youngest daughter. She ought to be a warden for a prison, she won't give an inch and always has these common sense answers to all my mania and depression that leaves me stunned. My father gets kind of quiet, I know he worries but I don't think he really understands. He is ex-air force (career) and I don't think he has ever done anything wrong in his life (seriously). So that is intimidating to me, but I know that he loves me, it just seems somewhat more conditional that with my mom. I am adopted by the way so I was selected not expected although I have met my biological mother &amp; father, it was a real let down and thank God that I was raised in the environment that I was otherwise I would probably be worse than I am now or would have succeeded in one my suicide attempts.

Isn't it amazing the depths of denial that a person can cling to. I feel your pain. My mom is a Cleopatra as well. She keeps saying &quot;you don't have bipolar&quot;, &quot;the docs are crazy&quot; and &quot;you can snap out of this.&quot; What a joke!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
